Are you sure you want to know? Go ahead and post below to find out. Let's start with me. Why do I suck, folks?

Well, I'm not Dan, but here's a little hack adapted from [url]http://www.dotnetspider.com/resources/15834-eject-close-cd-tray.aspx[/url] for Python. It's only two lines of code!

This method is probably a bit less efficient than other suggestions you'll get, but it's just one line: [code=python] new_list = [item[:1] for item in old_list] [/code] Question. Why don't you use tuples instead of lists for the inner structure? They use less memory than lists.

break is such an ugly construct! Structure your while loops better. That way they are more natural to read and I don't have to spend a second or two figuring out "Why is he break-ing here?".

Give Google control of my desktop? I'm too paranoid for that.

What is anti-virus? Call me naive but I run my Vista naked. I figure I can avoid 90% of infection problems by just not clicking links/opening suspicious programs/using certain MS software. It makes me chuckle to think about just how sorely wrong I could be; my system could be riddled …

St. Vincent doesn't have illegal immigrants. Everybody wants to LEAVE St. Vincent! You should be flattered that so many people are desperate to come to your country, that they would risk their lives and voyage over miles of sea in a stupid little boat (Cubans). Don't get me wrong; I …

Stop being a wimp. And sleep 6 hours a day if you need more time.

The 40 who chose "brains" are just pretentious.

Of course it's slower. Whether or not it's slower enough to make any difference is the issue. For me, it's not.

First of all python has no variables. Here's how to check if a name is defined in local namespace: [code=python]"name" in locals()[/code] and global namespace: [code=python]"name" in globals()[/code]

Aw hell nah. I'm not gonna debug that for you. But, is this supposed to be a game? Why isn't it interactive? If it is, how do I play it? I actually love this silly game.

So as an outside observer, I'm curious about what you think of each other's nations, and whose is better. Just some topics to get you started: Entertainment, Enterprise, Education, Healthcare, People, Don't think too much.

Just in case you don't fine wxGlade or BoaConstructor to be quite what you need (or if you just can't get past how ugly they are), you can try QtDesigner for pyQT (comes with the pyQT package).

Hey jlm699, how come you called random.seed()?

Man, you really messed up the spelling of your nickname there.

Please know that this is a security risk. Use the exec function: [code=python] >>> exec("print('df')") df [/code]

Who would write a game in C? Why do you hate yourself? W.e. I guess.

Save the program as program.py, and double click to run. You may need to put an input() statement at the end in order to keep the script from immediately exiting after execution. I recommend going through the [URL="http://docs.python.org/3.0/tutorial/index.html"]official python tutorial[/URL].

Does your server require authentication? (logging in before you can send) If it does, you have to use the PEAR set of email methods, because mail() does not support SMTP authentication.

How you run an app at startup is platform specific and has nothing to do with Python. I suggest you consult your target OSes' manuals to determine how to do this for each platform. As for blocking other programs from starting, I have a strong suspicion that you would be …

Have a look at WPF with Ironpython. If anyone wants to create a totally customized UI look on Windows, WPF is what I recommend, because it's just horrible trying to get it done easily with other toolkits (I've tried them all).
